Testimonials for Fibromyalgia ...from people who use FibroAMJ™ and Transfer Factor™

"Fibromyalgia had taken over my life for approximately 15 years.  Then I found out I had become extremely toxic to the medications, so I had to stop taking all prescription mediations.  Then I received a call about Transfer Factor™ and after a lot of research I decided to give it a try.  In less than 4 weeks I could sleep through the night and I could exercise with a lot less pain.  My checkups have been symptom free.  I had forgotten how good it feels to feel good again.  Thanks 4Life for giving me my life back."  Fibro Free, Pam - Wisconsin

"Before I began using the 4Life™ Fibromyalgia Recovery Program, I was experiencing some of the worst symptoms I'd had in over 20 years with fibromyalgia.  I was unable to sleep.  The pain and fatigue made daily life a struggle.  After a few short months on these remarkable, the symptoms subsided and remain a thing of the past.  Thank you 4Life™."  - Bonnie Palmer

"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 3 years ago and realized that I've had it for many years.  I've been taking the FibroAMJ™ Day-Time and Night-time formulas since May of 1998.  I am a totally new person.  I'm back on my 5 mile walks again, and I can golf 18 holes and do my housecleaning. I also started on the BioVitaMins™ a couple months later.  I'm not as tired and I'm starting to have a lot more energy.  I think it's a wonderful program.  I am very happy with what it's going for me.  I can live again." Dianne A.

"I have arthritis, and I am telling anybody that has arthritis; "Please take FibroAMJ™, it's wonderful."  I'm also on Transfer Factor™ but I couldn't live without the FibroAMJ™." Bernice M.

"I suffered from the symptoms of Fibromyalgia, arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have tried other nutrients with only a degree of success.  After consuming Transfer Factor™, FibroAMJ™, and BioVitaMins™ for a couple of months, my symptoms decreased by at least 50%.  Now, after six months, I am virtually symptom free."   Kay B.

"I have Fibromyalgia. Since I've been taking the FibroAMJ™, I've been sleeping a lot better.  It also helps to alleviate the pain; and so I am just really impressed with this. The more I learn about this product, the better I like it." Yvonne K.

"I am a young woman with Fibromyalgia, with symptoms like migraines, muscle aches and exhaustion, and I started on the 4Life™ Transfer Factor™ and FibroAMJ™ system and am able to get out of bed and do the activities of daily life."  Kelly Z.

"4Life™ Transfer Factor™ helped me to get over the Epstein Barr virus and mononucleosis, which can cause chronic fatigue syndrome, after only a couple of weeks." Sue H.

"I was actually confined to a wheel-chair.  The pain was so excruciating that I feared I'd never walk normally again.  I thought that after struggling with Fibromyalgia for years, it had finally won.  Then I was introduced to the Fibromyalgia Recovery Program.  I now lead a totally normal life and am determined to tell everyone I can reach that, despite what I'd been told, "You don't have to learn to live with it."  - Linda Baker

Transfer factors – support immune function by suppressing or inducing immune response.

Magnesium – Low levels of this mineral are associated with pain tolerance and is involved with energy production in the body.

Essential Fatty Acids – Used by the body in maintaining immune and nervous function; also has anti-inflammatory property.

Zinc  – Essential mineral that is known to influence and support immune function.

Boswellia serrata – Herbal anti-inflammatory agent.

Griffonia simplicifolia – Helpful for reducing symptoms of fibromyalgia (i.e. tender points, pain intensity, sleeplessness, etc.)

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) – A source of sulphur useful to reduce muscle soreness and cramps.

How does Fibro AMJ™ Day-Time Formula work?
Fibro AMJ™ Day-Time Formula is a 4Life™ proprietary supplement backed by the latest scientific research. This unique formula contains a powerful blend of ingredients that are essential for proper muscle and joint health.* Here are some of the key ingredients in the Fibro AMJ™ Day-Time Formula, and a brief description of their function.

Key Ingredients:

• Magnesium is involved with every major energy production and transport function in the body. Magnesium supplementation has shown beneficial impacts on fatigue and pain.⁴

• Malic acid is essential in the citric acid cycle (energy production cycle). As it passes through this cycle, it is converted into useable energy (ATP).⁵

• Glucosamine and Bovine Cartilage are used in the body to manufacture cartilage components necessary for joint and tissue repair.⁶

• Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM) is an important source of dietary sulfur. Sulfur plays an integral part in the proper function of many proteins, hormones, and other substances that are critical in keeping muscles and joints healthy.⁷

• Boswellia serrata is a natural anti-inflammatory agent. It has been shown to reduce joint swelling, increase mobility, and decrease morning stiffness.⁸

• Vitamin B6 is an important co-factor in the production of several important neurotransmitters such as serotonin, gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), and dopamine.⁹

• N-Acetyl cysteine and cysteine play a critical role in the prevention of skeletal muscle wasting and fatigue conditions.^{10 11}

What is Fibro AMJ™ Night-Time Formula?
Fibro AMJ™ Night-Time Formula is a revolutionary product that works in conjunction with the Fibro AMJ™ Day-Time Formula in the fight against fibromyalgia and arthritis.* This product is specially formulated to help restore normal sleep patterns while supplying your body with important nutrients that aid in tissue health.*

The ability to reach deep sleep is essential to health and wellness. Abnormal sleep patterns, or the inability to reach deep sleep (R.E.M.), is believed to be a major factor associated with fibromyalgia and other musculoskeletal conditions. Some of the common effects found in sleep deprivation studies include muscle pain, fatigue, and hormonal imbalances (i.e. Growth Hormone (GH) release).

Fibro AMJ™ Night-Time Formula contains a powerful blend of ingredients that helps you to relax, prepares you for a good night's sleep, and aids in muscle tissue repair.* Below are some of the key ingredients in the Fibro AMJ TM Night-Time Formula, and a brief description of their function.

Key Ingredients:

• Melatonin is a hormone that assists us in attaining deep levels of sleep. Melatonin regulates the sleep-wake cycle, helps increase sleep onset, helps our bodies to sleep all night long, and helps us reach deep sleep (REM sleep).¹

• Griffonia simplicifolia (natural source of 5-hydroxytryptophan or 5-HTP) is a plant rich in 5-HTP. 5-HTP has been effective against many conditions of fibromyalgia, including reducing muscle pain, anxiety, and pain intensity. It also has shown to help induce sleep, improve sleep quality, and reduce fatigue.²

• Pregnenolone is one of the critical neurosteroids that has the ability to modify EEG sleep in humans. This also suggests one of pregnenolone's potential benefits as a memory enhancer.³

• Vitamin B6 is an important co-factor in the production of several important neurotransmitters such as serotonin, gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), and dopamine. ⁵

• Creatine is a nutrient naturally found in our bodies. It is made from three amino acids (arginine, glycine, and methionine). Creatine is used in our muscles to create energy: Our ability to create energy (adenosine triphosphate or ATP) depends upon our creatine supply. Creatine helps restore energy in fatigued muscles.⁶

• Kava kava is used for its natural calming effects. Kava helps you relax and allows for a good night's rest.⁷

Some symptoms associated with fibromyalgia: in order to meet the criteria established by the American College of Rheumatology, the pain must have been present for at least 3 months' duration, and must be present in all 4 quadrants of the body.  The pain must occur in certain specific anatomical sites and there have been 18 such sites identified.  In the past, it was felt that at least 11 of these sites must produce severe pain when 8 pounds of pressure were applied in order for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia to be established.  Recently, many researchers and clinicians have felt that even if less than 11 sites were active at the time of the exam, if other criteria were met, the diagnosis of fibromyalgia could still be made.

The reference above to "multiple systemic symptoms" means that symptoms occur in such systems of the body as musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, genitourinary, nervous, lymphatic, immune, and respiratory systems.

• Most people with fibromyalgia have at one time or another been on some or all of the following medications: pain pills (narcotic and non-narcotic); muscle relaxants, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, antidepressants including tricyclics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors and selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, steroids, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. "You name it, I've taken it." Other drugs may have been prescribed , but these are the most common.

• Many individuals have also had such procedures as nerve blocks, been placed under the the care of a massage therapist or physical therapist, and have been referred for psychological or even psychiatric evaluation and counseling or treatment.

• Fibromyalgia places great strain on relationships including those within a marriage and within the family, in the work place, and in interaction with friends - "The doctor said all your tests were normal...".
